Arts & Humanities Research

Research in the humanities is different from research in the sciences or social
sciences because so much of it is concerned with the value of a work. Other
distinguishing characteristics of humanities research include:

the importance of the library when compared to the laboratory (except
in the creation of fine arts)

a preference for books over articles, although both are used

a focus on primary texts or items

a longer time frame for the materials used  having recent information
is not as important as it may be for researchers in the sciences and
social sciences

In this 'Flow of Information' timeline we follow Georgia writer Flannery O'Connor's
novel Wise Blood from publication to its acceptance as a great work
and a part of America's literary canon.
